Behind the scenes at Frankfurt International (Winter 2016)

Greetings! Here I go again – overthinking the air travel or maybe not.

747 is getting ready for the flight

Some folks look at travel as a way to move between places. I am little different – I like to be somehow an active participant in the process – not just “a human cargo”. There is plenty to see in any airport terminal.

Constant movement

Behind the glass windows, there is a constant ballet of vehicles, planes and people going somewhere. It may look a little bit chaotic but I am pretty much sure that all the movement is carefully choreographed.

it is full of life

The fuel, food, our bags and some other stuff are being delivered to the planes. This is a truly amazing process. We get mad because our bags get delayed but if you think about the volume of the luggage = one missing or misplaced bag becomes insignificant. 🙂

The old joke comes to mind “You can have breakfast in NYC and dinner in Paris, but your bags are in Tokyo.”
